Important Note : The Chief Justice only presides over Presidential Senate impeachment trials; all other trials are managed by the presiding officer of the Senate or a committee to which he (or she) delegates that power. Reasoning As President of the Senate, the Vice President of the Unit…ed States typically presides over impeachment trials. However, if the President of the US is facing impeachment, the VP might be biased because he/she would automatically become President of the US if the sitting President is removed from office. This political precaution helps ensure impartiality, as the Supreme Court owes no allegiance to any political party and has no concern for political repercussions because he or she has received a lifetime commission. Article I, Section 3 gives the US Senate the sole power to try all Impeachments and specifies when the Senate sits in judgment following a successful Impeachment hearing of the President, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court shall preside. Article I, Section 3 "The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present. "Judgment in Cases of Impeachments shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust, or Profit under the United States, but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment, and Punishment, according to Law."

President Andrew Johnson was impeached by the House of Representatives in 1868 for defying the Tenure of Office Act, which prohibited the President from firing federal officeholders whose commissions had been approved by the Senate, unless the termination was done with "the advice and consent" of… the Senate. Johnson ignored the Act, believing it unconstitutional, and promptly dismissed the Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton. The Supreme Court refused to rule on the President's action, so the Radical-Republicans in Congress brought him up on charges of violating the Tenure of Office Act. The House voted for impeachment just three days after Stanton's dismissal, necessitating a trial in the Senate. According to the Constitution, when the President is tried by the Senate, the Chief Justice of the United States must preside over the hearing. Salmon P. Chase was Chief Justice on the Supreme Court in 1868 . Johnson was acquitted by a vote of 35-19, just one vote shy of the two-thirds super-majority required to remove him from office.

Yes. Under normal circumstances, a Supreme Court justice is awarded a lifetime commission. A Supreme Court Justice may be impeached by the House of Representatives and removed from office if convicted in a Senate trial, but only for the same types of offenses that would trigger impeachment pro…ceedings for any other government official under Articles I and II of the Constitution. Article III, Section 1 states that judges of Article III courts shall hold their offices "during good behavior." "The phrase "good behavior" has been interpreted by the courts to equate to the same level of seriousness 'high crimes and misdemeanors" encompasses. In addition, any federal judge may prosecuted in the criminal courts for criminal activity. If found guilty of a crime in a federal district court, the justice would face the same type of sentencing any other criminal defendant would. The district court could not remove him/her from the Bench. However, any justice found guilty in the criminal courts of any felony would certainly be impeached and, if found guilty, removed from office. In the United States, impeachment is most often used to remove corrupt lower-court federal judges from office, but it's not unusual to find disgruntled special interest groups circulating petitions on the internet calling for the impeachment of one or all members of the High Court. The Impeachment Process Impeachment is a two-step process; the impeachment phase is similar to a Grand Jury hearing, where charges (called "articles of impeachment") are presented and the House of Representatives determines whether the evidence is sufficient to warrant a trial. If the House vote passes by a simple majority, the defendant is "impeached," and proceeds to trial in the Senate. The House of Representatives indicts the accused on articles of impeachment , and, if impeached, the Senate conducts a trial to determine the party's guilt or innocence. The Senate trial, while analogous to a criminal trial, only convenes for the purpose of determining whether a Justice, the President (or another officeholder) should be removed from office on the basis of the evidence presented at impeachment. At the trial a committee from the House of Representatives, called "Managers," act as the prosecutors. Per constitutional mandate (Article I, Section 3), the Chief Justice of the United States (Supreme Court) must preside over the Senate trial of the President. If any other official is on trial, an "Impeachment Trial Committee" of Senators act as the presiding judges to hear testimony and evidence against the accused, which is then presented as a report to the remained of the Senate. The full Senate no longer participates in the hearing phase of the removal trial. This procedure came into practice in 1986 when the Senate amended its rules and procedures for impeachment and has been contested by several federal court judges, but the Supreme Court has declined to interfere in the process, calling the issue a political, not legal, matter. At the conclusion of the trial, the full Senate votes and must return a two-thirds Super Majority for conviction. Convicted officials are removed from office immediately and barred from holding future office. The Senate trial, while analogous to a criminal trial, only convenes for the purpose of determining whether a Justice, the President (or another officeholder) should be removed from office on the basis of the evidence presented at impeachment. Impeachment and Near Impeachment Only one Supreme Court Justice, Samuel Chase (one of the signatories to the Declaration of Independence), has ever been impeached. The House of Representatives accused Chase of letting his Federalist political leanings affect his rulings, and served him with eight articles of impeachment in late 1804. The Senate acquitted him of all charges in 1805, establishing the right of the judiciary to independent opinion. Chase continued on the Court until his death in June 1811. In 1957, at the height of McCarthyism, the Georgia General Assembly passed a joint resolution calling for "The Impeachment of Certain U.S. Supreme Court Justices" believed to be enabling Communism with their decisions. The resolution targeted Chief Justice Earl Warren and Associate Justices Hugo Black, William O. Douglas, Tom Campbell Clark, Felix Frankfurter, and Stanley Forman Reed (as well as several unnamed deceased Justices) for "...[usurping] the congressional power to make law in violation of Article I, Sections I and 8, and violated Sections 3 and 5 of the 14th Amendment and nullified the 10th Amendment of the Constitution.

There has only been two formal impeachments since Richard Nixon resigned because of the watergate scandal and to avoid impeachment. The first president to be impeached was Andrew Johnson and the second was Bill Clinton, and neither of them were convicted or removed from office.

The Legislative Branch .

If the President is convicted, he (or she) is removed from public office.

Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase presided over the Senate removal trial of President Andrew Johnson in 1868. The House of Representatives had charged Johnson with ten individual articles of impeachment alleging he'd committed "high crimes and misdemeanors" in office. The primary complaint was Johns…on's violation of the Tenure of Office Act by improperly dismissing from office of Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, and appointing a replacement without the required advice and consent of the Senate. He was also accused of four counts of conspiracy and various other charges. The House passed the impeachment resolution by an overwhelming vote of 126-47. Before Johnson could be removed from office, however, he had to be found guilty in a removal trial conducted in the Senate. When the President of the United States is on trial, the Chief Justice of the United States (Supreme Court) presides over the trial. Under ordinary circumstances, this duty is handled by the Vice-President. Johnson was acquitted of his crimes 35-19, just one vote shy of the number needed for removal. (MORE)

To be impeached is only the accusation that a President has done something so wrong that he/she needs to be removed from office. Apparently, the Court did not find him guilty of a worthy enough cause to remove him.

Impeachment means a simple majority (at least 51%) of the US House of Representatives votes to file charges against a government official. The person is entitled to a trial in the US Senate before he (or she) can be removed from office. Unless two-thirds of the Senators present vote "guilty," th…e person is acquitted (found not guilty) and continues to serve in office. The House of Representatives voted to impeach President Andrew Johnson, but the Senate failed to convict him by a single vote. That meant Johnson was found "not guilty," so he couldn't be removed from office. (MORE)

False. The Chief Justice must preside over only impeachments of a President. Article I, Section 3, Clause 6 states in part: "When the President of the United States is tried, the chief justice shall preside...".
Since the US Constitution fails to mention any other impeachment trials, the Senate ha…s adopted rules that provide the Presiding Officer of the Senate (whether the Vice President, President pro tempore or other presiding officer designated by the Senate) shall preside in impeachment trials of other officials. In addition, in some instances, the Senate creates an impeachment trial committee to take evidence and to then report such evidence to the full Senate for its deliberation and vote. (MORE)

The chief justice has a pool of individuals in which to respond to for his actions as with the vice president, short of an act of congress, would be considered biased in his decision for impeachment. The main reason is that the president is the head of the executive branch of government while the …Chief Justice is the head of the judicial branch of government. Nothing short of having one head of a separate branch of government preside over the possible removal of the head of another branch of government would legitimize such a removal. The correlation between two heads of government in this regard is apparent when one notes that the Chief Justice is required to preside at impeachment trials only when the president is tried. When lower federal officials are tried, some other presiding officer of the Senate (i.e., the Vice President, President pro tempore or other designated officer) presides over the trial. (MORE)

If the Senate tries the Chief Justice, it would follow the procedure used in most impeachment trials.

Such is what the rules of the Senate say. The president of the Senate is the vice-president who would take the president's office if he were convicted. He would have a conflict of interest, to be sure. Also, it is good to have an experienced judge rule over such an important trial.

Congress. The Senate tries impeachments while the House of Represenatives actually impeach. Once the Senate convicts a president or other official of impeachment, their removal from office is immediate.

The obvious choice might be the vice president who is also the president of the Senate and normally presides over the Senate. However, if the president is convicted the vice president would become the president. Also the VP is closely allied to the President and is often a power in the President's p…arty. So, there is an obvious conflict of interest on the part of the VP, so someone else needs to preside over the Senate trial of the president and who would be better than the Chief Justice of the US, the foremost jurist in the country?

The chief justice is the supreme judge of the United States. It seems fitting that he should president over a trial of the supreme executive officer of the country. He has that position due to article I section 3 paragraph 7 of the US Constitution.

He would continue to try to do his job while the trial went on. His supporters in Congress would try to help him and he would probably consult them and offer any information that they might use to help his case.

Donald Trump recently suggested shooting.
